44. How to Start a $450K/Month Epoxy Flooring Business
The UpFlip Podcast
10/31/22 • 43 min
How much money and experience do you need to start an epoxy floor coating business? Brandon Vaughn invested $45,000 to start Wise Coatings in 2021. Now, he has 8 locations bringing in a total revenue of $450,000 or more every month with 15-25% profit margins, and he’s talking to UpFlip to share how he did it.
Brandon started Wise Coatings as an experiment. He wanted to see if someone could start a business without spending a single day working in the field. Instead, he focused on setting up smart systems, hiring a great team, and marketing the business to bring in more customers. So far, his experiment has proven a success, and he’s built a scalable garage floor coating company with huge revenue potential as a result.
Of course, no business is perfect all the time. We’ll hear what Brandon has struggled with as he’s grown his business, what mistakes he made early on, and how he corrected those issues to get Wise Coatings back on a profitable track. He’ll share his successes, too, and how he has used his expertise with business systems to set up his garage floor epoxy business for fast growth from day one.

47. How to Start a $480K/Year Online Course Business
The UpFlip Podcast
11/21/22 • 37 min
An online course is an appealing way to earn passive income, or add an extra revenue stream to an existing business. You don’t need any special expertise to do it, either, and Jacques Hopkins is proof. He turned his hobby playing piano into a $40,000 a month business when he started Piano in 21 Days, and you’ll hear how in this interview.
Jacques had a traditional career as an engineer but wanted a job that would give him more free time. He realized he used practicing piano to procrastinate, and decided to make that passion the heart of his new business. He’ll be the first to tell you he’s not a piano virtuoso, but he does know how to build an evergreen sales funnel, and knowing how to sell online course content proved to be the key to unlocking his business growth.
One of the best things about an online course business is its low barrier to entry. Jacques started his with a budget of around $150 a month, and those costs have stayed low as he’s grown, meaning about 50% of his revenue is profit. He’ll explain the main costs an entrepreneur should budget for and how to make the most of that investment, along with how to set up smart systems and build a team to make your income as passive as possible. If you want to know how to create an online course, this is the podcast episode for you!

67. How He Earns $2M/Month with a Charter Jet Business
The UpFlip Podcast
04/17/23 • 42 min
Justin Sullivan has always had a passion for aviation. It was that passion that prompted him to start his private jet charter business, a company that’s since grown to an average monthly revenue of over $2 million.
AJAX Jets is just the latest of several aviation companies that Justin has founded. It serves as parent company for his other businesses, which include Private FLITE, JetEx, PJM, and Ubair. Between them, they provide a range of aviation services, including airplane maintenance and acquisition in addition to private jet charters. He’ll talk about why he’s set these ventures up as separate businesses and how he manages his workflow across all of these ventures in our interview.
One of the challenges of the aviation industry is that it’s a high-cost, high-stakes business. Many people don’t know how much it costs to charter a private jet, much less to buy and maintain one. We’ll talk these kinds of numbers with Justin, along with finding out how being a catch-all aviation solution helps them keep these costs lower. If you’ve ever wondered how to start a charter jet business, this interview will answer all of your questions!

The UpFlip Podcast
07/03/23 • 44 min
In three years, Yamundow Camara has built a rental property portfolio that generates $80,000 a month in revenue – and it all started from an investment of just $8,000.
Yamu didn’t plan to start a property business when she moved to the United States. Growing up orphaned in a small village in Gambia, Yamu’s dream was to have a house of her own. She came to the US to study data science. It was after graduation that she saw the opportunity to build wealth through real estate, investing all the savings she had to purchase her first property.
Today, Yamu has properties in multiple states, with a mix of section 8 rentals and direct bookings. She shares her property management strategy for these long-distance investments and how she finds and chooses the properties she adds to her portfolio. We’ll also hear how she bought that first property with limited financial resources and how she uses her cash flow to keep growing the business.
Yamu’s story is proof that you don’t need to be wealthy to invest in real estate. Her insights in this interview can help you follow her model to start growing a property business however much you have (or don’t have) in your savings account.
